I was halfway through making a Daemons of chaos Nurgle army but the cost of the Plaugebearers the amount you get in a box and them being made of Metal just made them awkward to collect
Gave space marines a go in DoW Reti MP, felt like this screenshot was very agent smith vs neo just with more claws :v: [t]http://cloud.steampowered.com/ugc/595823533756620909/A52E07E536A0432F74DE9900262E418DD2CBD1E8/[/t]

How much are they? Also, aren't they like 5 per box?

I thought there was plastic Plaguebearers.
[QUOTE=Neat!;32437997]yeah that guy i forgot what a fag anyway, i love space marine but it doesn't capture the gritty, dark nature of the warhammer universe. the game [i]literally[/i] needs to be darker. For example, I was expecting the cities to look like this: [img]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2240/2083828103_8f97171ecf_o.jpg[/img] [img]http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1430/710088646_3d0b18a653_o.jpg[/img] [img]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2036/2083828577_e5fae37e0e_o.jpg[/img] Not like fucking willy wonka's chocolate factory. I wanted to stand triumphant over a pile of dead [b]everything[/b] while a massive, oppressive, dystopian city burns behind me. [img]http://www.freakygaming.com/gallery/game_art/warhammer_40000:_dawn_of_war/bloody_battlefield_triumph.jpg[/img] Yeah like this. I'm also pretty disappointed that the fucking rapid-fire rocket launcher that is the bolter doesn't do jack shit to the walls and ground. We need some DMM or Red Faction-style destruction in the next game. That's mainly why I bough space marine. So they could spend more money and effort on a huge sequel.[/QUOTE] Image dump on stereotype Imperial atmosphere [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/Pronunciatur_Hereticus_by_Undermound.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/kekaitheblacksepulchre.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/A_New_Inquisitor_by_graver13.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1300892692862.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1293207884449.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1289237910371.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1289236807182.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1289235309472.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1289227920853.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1289230384790.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1289233006498.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1280733911304.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1278631784296.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1277662967456.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312169789016.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312169681285.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312166690037.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312169614698.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312169648121.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312167165171.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312169580525.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312166751347.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312166995462.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312169548051.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312167944661.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312168048569.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312169424326.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312167877845.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312167708734.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312167783286.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312167815904.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312167556108.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312167360016.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312167493933%20%281%29.png[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312168095388.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312167317682.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312167244265.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312167279137.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312169204886.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312169004844.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312169133653.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312168884005.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312168769779.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312168821513.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312168719468.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312168462894.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312168570077.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312168297020.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312168199362.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312168248883.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312167129459.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312167097204.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312168165973.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312167206145.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312169390213.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312169355879.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312169322453.jpg[/img] [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11648828/1312168605790.jpg[/img]
Please remove it. It's useless page stretching. Just put it in a single link or something.

[QUOTE=Hoboharry;32439564]What do you mean? Did Bill Gates play 40k tabletop or something? [/QUOTE] Means if things were balanced using fluff instead of how they are in TT, Bill Gates wouldn't be able to afford a decent IG/Nid/Ork army due to the amount of stuff that would be needed.

Imagine if tabletop was actually balanced using fluff instead of the regular rules.. Necrons would probably win every game.
[QUOTE=Hoboharry;32442028]Wait, what's exactly happening in that picture? I saw a Kroot in the background, is that guardsman part of the Gue'Vesa or something? [/QUOTE] No, not all kroot are part of the Tau empire. That one is most likely a Mercenary. ALL of those pictures are awesome. I love it when people post W40K pics.
[QUOTE=Hoboharry;32442028]Wait, what's exactly happening in that picture? I saw a Kroot in the background, is that guardsman part of the Gue'Vesa or something? [/QUOTE] Looks like some sort of bar to me.
[QUOTE=Etcetera;32442116]Looks like some sort of bar to me.[/QUOTE] That machine serving drinks in the back looks very Imperial, so I doubt that's a Tau planet, what with their sleek, iPodish designs and all. I reckon it's some sort of mercenary meeting place, exclusively for hard men. A bit like that bar from that episode of Spongebob, now that I think about it.
It just looks like a bar with a kroot Mercenary in, Xenos are disliked but not shoot on sight.
[QUOTE=Hoboharry;32441405]The cost of Plaguebearers? How much are they? Also, aren't they like 5 per box?[/QUOTE]5 per box around £15-20
I like the art of that one that shows basicallly the exterior of an Imperial Cathedral with the influx of people. Im fairly new to Warhammer and have played Dawn of War and read a few omnibuses (Space Wolf and Imperial Guard) and something tells me thats the golden throne. Im probably wrong though.
The golden throne resides inside the Palace of Terra, which is an absolutely huge structure.

Ok thanks for the clarification.
[QUOTE=RayvenQ;32443276]Just looks like a regular old Cathedral, this is the way to the golden throne [/QUOTE]I just want to know how they could make such large doors
[QUOTE=Indyclone77;32443720]I just want to know how they could make such large doors[/QUOTE] It's the Imperium, ain't gonna have to explain shit.
[QUOTE=Indyclone77;32443720]I just want to know how they could make such large doors[/QUOTE] Building a big door is far more straightforward than say, a titan.
[QUOTE=Zezibesh;32443475]I bet the doors are that big just to accommodate the gigantic pauldrons of the Emperor[/QUOTE] Well there are two titans in there.
[QUOTE=Raidyr;32443226]The golden throne resides inside the Palace of Terra, which is an absolutely huge structure.[/QUOTE] In fact, it spans across Europe and Asia, I think?
I think the environments in Space Marine are what you would expect, not every planet in the galaxy has gigantic gothical structures, especially after being hit by an ork Waagh! It actually had a lot of detail if you took a look around, the manofactorum was massive and the city was boring dull and shitty, just what you would expect from a part of the city where the proletariat lives. And darker colours? Yes that helps the grimdark but do people really think that in the 40k there's only dark colours? Did the Blood Ravens stole the lighter colours or what? It's just some people that are 'hurr not dark enough until I don't start feeling like im colourblind it won't be 40k'. It artistically helps and defines the atmosphere I'm okay with that, but it sometimes gets to a point where apparently it's heresy. I don't think I'm getting my point explained right, dunno if you'll get the idea but basically outside from artistical graphical representations not everything has to be like that
This reminds me: I fucking loved the [sp]Chaos invasion[/sp] part in Space Marine. The sky turned sickly purple, darkness befell on the land, and in general, the whole thing was a real "Oh SHIT things are fucked up" experience
[QUOTE=RearAdmiral;32438654]Necrons. Their Gauss rifles kill virtually anything even with a glancing blow, and I think it can penetrate tank armour. Also the fact they don't tend to die particularly easily, aren't influenced by morale and teleport away if they take too many losses.[/QUOTE] Necrons are rough and tough and an almost direct counter to Nids, but Orks and Nids have the long game logistical advantage. Once they figured out how to get in and deal with tomb worlds, it's over. Fluffamuff, at the end of the day it would be Ghazkull with nekron style ultra super orky weapons standing almost a hundred feet tall in a final ultra WAAAAAAGH against an endless number of Nids, while the Swarmlord dictated shit from the background in a galaxy stripped bare (which means Gork and Mork are all that remains of the populated warp)... one of many before it, one of many after it.
